I’ve said many times on social media that I’m not a foodie. And I’m really not.

Except I kind of am now. Not really sure how it happened, but I’ve been cooking a lot lately. Especially baking. I love baking.

I seem to have developed an addiction to Pinterest recipes. Combing through the best desserts and breakfast items and supper selections is not something I ever imagined myself enjoying, but somehow… I do. A lot.

Because I’m a nerd and because I’m always looking for ways to generate much-needed income from things I’m already doing, I thought, “Hey, why not throw together a YouTube channel where I present the very best Pinterest recipes I find?”

It’s easy to assume that Depression, aka Major Depression, aka Clinical Depression, is a lot like being depressed. Everyone knows what that feels like, after all. The disappointment, the sadness. Everybody gets the blues.

Star Wars Rebels fans: your beloved series is hurtling toward its end at a breakneck pace, a finish line it will be crossing in just over a month — on March 5th.

I’ve been thinking about something a lot, and I’m about to get in to some spoilers up to the most recent episodes of the show. Because I’m convinced that the next animated series to come from Lucasfilm is going to center around everyone’s favorite Togruta non-Jedi.

While I continue trying to bend WordPress to my will (it’s not going well 😡 🤯, just don’t even right now), I have something cool to share. I was honored to be asked to talk about my struggle with invisible illnesses for the MyTherapy Blog.

MyTherapy is a new app that schedules your medications and reminds you exactly when to take them. It also works for daily measurements like blood pressure or blood sugar, and other therapies. I’ve tried it; it’s attractively designed, intuitive, and includes a lot of thoughtful little touches that other similar apps lack.

The interview I took part in — along with 5 others — is part of today’s article at the MyTherapy Blog. My part talks about how taking martial arts classes, specifically Hapkido, has completely rewritten my story of fighting invisible illnesses. It really has radically altered every aspect of my health and quality of life. (The rest of the article is really good, too.)

I’m trying to simplify many things in my life (because Lupus [and Fibromyalgia {and POTS, and more}]), and one way I’m doing that is to consolidate all of the various personal blogs I’ve done over the years into one single website. I’ve got way too many of these things, most of which haven’t been updated in a long time, so it’s time to clear out the mess.

Soon you’ll find my blogs about Invisible Illnesses, Assorted Geekery, my in-depth examinations of Lost (a personal favorite), free fonts, and yes even that kooky Morphsuits article (which I still love) that cost me a job — and someday I’ll tell that whole story… All of those articles will be in one place, right here at good ol’ www.robinparrish.com. Which will make it easier for me to add new content to any of those topics if I’ve got something worth posting.

Don’t be surprised if you find some… additional things added in as well… perhaps other content in need of archiving…
